This folder and its subfolders contain data, code, and documents pertaining to the study "(Mis)information and Anxiety: Evidence from a Randomized Covid-19 Information Campaign" by D Sadish, Achyuta Adhvaryu, and Anant Nyshadham published in 2021.

The root folder is the folder containing this file and four other folders: "3_Instruments", "4_Analysis", "6_Processed_Data", and "7_Output"

We have provided the final dataset used for analysis after anonymizing it. It is in the "6_Processed_Data" folder. It combines data from four sources:
1. factory administrative dataset -- source of demographics such as education, factory of work, gender, and current working status
2. baseline survey
3. randomization file -- source of treatment assignment
4. endline survey

All analysis codes are in the "4_Analysis" folder. Each file has a filename that starts with a 9-character prefix of the format "is_#_#_#_" where "#" represents a digit.

To reproduce the analysis tables and figures, define a path to the root folder in the file with prefix "is_4_4_0_". Tables are exported as LaTeX files and figures as Stata graph files.

Then run all six files in sequence. The 8th character in the prefix (0 to 5) tells you the sequence.

All outputs will be saved in the "7_Output" folder.

For reference, a redacted versions of the baseline questionnaire is in the "3_Instruments" folder. The endline survey uses a subset of questions from this questionnaire.
